"Parivartan" was a road safety model making competition, organised under the Safer Roads, Safer India programme by UL(Underwriter's Laboratory) and YSA (Youth Services America) in association with SPTM and Pune Traffic Police. Students from various schools and colleges across Pune city participated in this competition. The sole purpose of this competition was youth involvement in road safety. This competition provided a novel way for students to give their suggestions for improvement of layout of a specific road or "chowk" in Pune city, by means of a 3D model or 2D sketch. Thus, it was a platform for the youth to be heard by road safety authorities, in order to make necessary changes. The competition was judged by experts in the field of road safety and the winning ideas were taken into consideration for future infrastructural development
